22 sport MILDURA WEEKLY FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2015 LEARNING new skills, practicing technique and understanding match play has been the theme of the On Tour Tennis school holiday clinic at Mildura Lawn Tennis Club. Finishing today, 93 children aged between four and 14 have taken part in the two-week clinic, run by expe- rienced coaches Bill McDonald and Dean Kyle. Aimed at new and current players, sessions focussed on skill develop- ment and understanding the match play aspect of the sport. “A lot of new kids try this for their first time because they can learn all the shots,” Dean said. “Everything gets covered in the one week they are here.” Incorporating the Hot Shots modified tennis program, Dean said the clinic was a great opportunity to develop up-and-coming coaches. “Last week Bill took Sheree Moore and all our best coaches to a tourna- ment in Bendigo,” he said. “I got to train three new coaches last week, so that means I can use them from now on.” Hoping to boost the number of participants in local tennis, Dean be- lieves it is important that correct tech- nique is taught at an early age. “We try to trigger their hand-eye co-ordination,” he said. “Even today we have four little ones and we have to hit it at their racquet and let them volley, but that’s where it starts. “If they can get that over, then they can start bouncing the ball, and learn the new shots and ready posi- tions.” In other local tennis news, Sun- raysia was represented strongly at last weekend’s Bendigo tournament, with a number of players reaching the semi-finals.
